A comparative study of Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified with different silane compounds

- Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified by different silane compounds (MPTMS, MPTES and VS) exhibited comparable characteristic properties.
- The smallest average particle size (7.8 ± 1.0 nm) belonged to the hydrophobic Fe3O4-VS magnetic nanoparticles.
- MPTMS, MPTES and VS modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles could be apply to increase coating efficiency (especially polymers) and stabilization for bioapplications.
